Mid-Life Crisis

The other day I got a twitter invite from my 10 year old daughter. And to be frank I didn’t know what to do….
I keep getting amazing web links from my Dad and Mom. And if you see their web savvyness… one will be amazed..
And my brother and all other youngsters… well you bet… they’ve got be into the latest stuff always..
Almost, everyone around me seems to be on the net and it’s just so some much a normal routine part of their lives….
Well….I have just come to realize I am having a real “mid-life-crisis”…pun intended!!
Kids, younger ones, peers, oldies…everyone is on the go….and I somehow think I have happily managed to miss the bus somewhere along the way!!
It’s scary at times. I sometimes feel I will be lost and get extinct very soon.

I once heard my Mom-in-law say something on these lines to me. And I brushed it aside lightly. Now, I know!!
Hey..to think of it..I am not really that old yet, and well, I supposedly am part and parcel of the IT World :-) I happen to earn a livelihood out of it.
My best attempts at belonging in this web world have been using email, googling when I need something, maybe couple of site memberships and some attempts around blogging.. and that's all.
But, then, have I been able to embrace to an extent that it’s all over my life after work…guess not. And will I be able to …don’t know…maybe yes.. but it just all seems so fast and what a transformation!!

I marvel it, am in awe of it, and you bet want to be a part of it… but, I guess I will go by my own pace.
